Interesting, but.....bottom line is, how many folks truly have oil-related failures? Not counting running the machine out of oil, that is. Most engine guys will tell you that there are very, very few. Over the years in various machines (including a PWC) I've run Doo mineral, Doo semi-syn, Doo full-syn, Klotz, Spectro, Legend, Amsoil, and Sea and Snow (sorry, Indy and PR1). Not one oil-related failure in tens of thousands of miles -- in fact, only one failure at all and that was because a grenaded belt trashed my outer PTO seal, and at that time I was unaware such a thing could happen and didn't know enough to check it).
Call me picky, but personally I'm a bit skeptical of a guy who calls himself The Chemist (implying that he has a background in chemical engineering) yet can't use proper spelling, grammar, or punctuation.
If you use an oil that meets the specs called for by the OEM, then oil is oil. Nope, I'm not switching.
